What is Color Guard? A color
guard uses a combination of dance, interpretive 
movement, flags,
rifles, and other equipment during a marching band performance
in order to create visual and effect to the show.
Why Color Guard? The
purpose of color guard is to foster positive experiences for all
who participate by promoting creativity, performance, and
movement and equipment skills. Color guard teaches us to work
both as an individual and as a team, and furthers lifelong
friendships among the team.
How? It’s simple:
Tryout. We will have a practice on Saturday, May 1, 2010

you will learn:
- Simple movement and dance techniques

- And much more
You will also learn a simple routine
which you will use for tryouts. Tryouts will then be on Wednesday,

Bring a lunch with you to practice,
and wear tennis shoes and comfortable clothes. We look forward
to seeing you there.
